Amiberry screen position

[davidgrohl]

Hi all,
I'm finally using amiberry with .lha files. It works fine with most games without the use of mouse and/or keyboard. My problem is that in most games the screen is shifted down and some of the game screen is not visible. There is a way to center the game screen?
I looked in /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf but i found that retroarch.cfg is linked to the one in the opt/retropie/configs/all folder. If I modify that file will the mod affect all platforms?
Thanks for help.

Hi

Was just going to post the link as @BadFurDay did.

I had the same issue and you need to edit the amiberry.conf file

Using the amiberry conf file the options are

default_horizontal_centering

You can use this option to enable Smart Horizontal Centering by default.

Possible values: yes/no

Default value: no

Example: default_horizontal_centering=yes
default_vertical_centering

You can use this option to enable Smart Vertical Centering by default.

Possible values: yes/no

Default value: no

Example: default_vertical_centering=yes

Added the lines and all good

Regards

Jimi

@Jimi007 could you please tell me where amiberry conf file is located? Thanks a lot.

[Jimi007]

Hi @davidgrohl

The config file should be located at

/opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf

[davidgrohl]

@Jimi007 in that folder there is a link to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
It seems not to be specific for Amiberry.

Hey,
Im using *.uae
and in the file itself i added like this to every single uae that i have -

; *** Display / Screen Setup
; 
gfx_framerate=0
gfx_width=720
gfx_height=284
gfx_refreshrate=50
gfx_refreshrate_rtg=50
gfx_lores=false
gfx_resolution=hires
gfx_linemode=none
gfx_fullscreen_amiga=false
gfx_fullscreen_picasso=false
ntsc=false
; 

Try add that lines on your config file for the game,
For me it fix the position screen for everygame (file).
Hope it will work for u too

The following will explain the conf file options and location

Also @davidgrohl what version of Amiberry are you using?

The file was not present in conf folder. I added an empty file called amiberry.conf and after I launched a game it was compiled by emulator. After enabling auto center option the screen is good for all games.

You can access these settings from the amiberry GUI btw.

i also have no "/opt/retropie/configs/amiga/conf/amiberry.conf".
Started with Amiberry just two weeks ago and installed the current version v3.1.2
Could it be that the newest version does not create this conf-file anymore?

i also like to set theses values for screen-positioning and scanlines global for all games within this config-file.
Settings within the Amiberry-GUI only work for the chosen game, so you have to create hundreds of individual config-files.

@sirhenrythe5th you needed to be more specific. What are you launching? By default retropie auto selects between 2 configs for adfs depending on filename (rp-a500 or rp-a1200) or are you using whdload lha files?

[BuZz]

@sirhenrythe5th also the path is

/opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf for config files.

[sirhenrythe5th]

Sorry for the lack of information @buzz!
I only use WHLoader/*.lha-files of several games i had 30 years ago on my real amiga.
Maybe you are right and i was on the wrong path - will check this in the evening.
Thank you very much!

[davidgrohl]

I confirm that amiberry.conf is not prenset in /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf after installation. In fact, when I tryied to change some options, they restet to default after I exit from emulator.
So I created the amiberry.conf file in /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf and then launched a game. After that the file was compiled and my settings stored.

second this, there is no "amiberry.conf" on my setup.

Try to do as I do: create a file called amiberry.conf and launch emulator.

[sirhenrythe5th]

@davidgrohl i will try that, thank you!
